selling the 2700's, 2600's and the Mark3 will realise diddly sqwat, scrap for the mrk3 anyway.
there are a pile of 201 locos loitering about in the back of inchcore doing nothing except worrying that they will go the way of 216 and be stripped for parts. Yes, that is a loco less than 20 years old being scrapped.
some of the 22k are owned by transport for ireland.
everything else is owned by CIE.
perhaps, after 18 months in office, the minister might get around to reading his brief.
as for borrowing money, who owns AIB but the state so its just more mathematical accounting than reality, though the irony of a state owned bank pulling an o/d to a state company is delicious. In effect it would be turned into a long term loan anyway.
